Mille Miglia

Italy is known and loved for a lot of things – the scenic holiday destinations, the cuisine, art, history, fashion and auto brands like Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati. Then there are events that are well worth a trip to this Mediterranean country. Mille Miglia is one such event.

Millie Miglia is a 30-year tradition that brings together the best of auto brands and racing drivers in the world’s greatest car race. As the name of the event suggests, the race covers 1,000 miles and goes through different parts of the country.

The best of Italy

The 2016 Mille Miglia will kick off on May 19th and will go on until May 22nd. The four day event is a great chance to see the best of Italy while following the race.

Sunday morning will see the drivers speed off to Brescia for the last leg of the event where the prize will be awarded.
